“Decades of cognitive and educational research have established that instruction according to the Science of Reading is effective in teaching children literacy. However, federal dollars have continued to flow to schools and programs that use outdated pedagogical methods and fall short in teaching children to read, contributing to what has become a consistent and catastrophic decline in literacy levels across America. This bill will direct federal funding to evidence-based reading instruction. I am proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation with Senator Schatz, and I urge my colleagues to advance it.”
